Know Before You Grow
What is the one thing we as Christ-followers need to know before we can grow into mature Christ-followers? As I have titled this posting, you need to know before you can grow. As I was reading in Hebrews chapter 5: 11-14 it says…
11 We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain because you are slow to learn. 12 In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! 13 Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. 14 But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
In verse 14 it says “to distinguish good from evil”. Are you having a problem growing and reaching the next level in your spiritual walk? If so, maybe you are still struggling with the same “elementary” things the Jewish Christ-followers were during their time…In Hebrews chapter 6:1 it refers to the elementary teaching as learning the foundation of repentance (regret for any past action) from acts that lead to death and faith in God.
Maybe your struggle to get to the next level in your spiritual walk is due to you not applying the above basics to your own daily walk with Christ. Maybe you are reluctant to move past the “religious” tradition you have learned in the past. Maybe you are still trying to blend in with your old life and friends and are not 100% committed to doing away with sinful activity in your life. There will come a time when you will have to move outside of your comfort zones because commitment to Christ does move His children outside of their comfort zone.

Liberty University Distance Learning Program tops 27,000
Liberty University’s Distance Learning Program on Monday, May 26th, topped the 27,000 student mark for the first time.
The program, which allows students to take courses online, has grown 141 percent over the past two years.
The program topped the 25,000 student mark for the first time in March.
LU founder, the late Dr. Jerry Falwell, set 25,000 as his initial DLP goal.
Ronald S. Kennedy, LU’s executive director of distance learning and graduate studies, said LU hopes to double Falwell’s initial goal in three to five years.
“We think it is realistic for us to get up to 50,000 students in the next three years,” Kennedy said. “It’s exciting. We’re continuing to grow.”
Two years ago, DLP enrollment had an annual growth rate of 12 percent.
“The past two years, we’ve seen a growth rate of 50 to 51 percent,” Kennedy said.
LU’s DLP has 8,000 military students enrolled today, compared with 3,600 two years ago.

Worst president in history?
(The following appeared in the Durham, NC local paper as a letter to the editor. I can not take credit for this blog, but I had to post it for more people to read)
Liberals claim President Bush shouldn’t have started this war. They complain about his prosecution of it. One liberal recently claimed Bush was the worst president in U.S. history.
Let’s clear up one point: President Bush didn’t start the war on terror.
Try to remember, it was started by terrorists BEFORE 9/11.
Let’s look at the worst president and mismanagement claims.
FDR led us into World War II.
> Germany never attacked us: Japan did.
> From 1941-1945, 450,000 lives were lost,
> an average of 112,500 per year.
Truman finished that war and started one in Korea. North Korea never attacked us.
> From 1950-1953, 55,000 lives were lost,
> an average of 18,333 per year.
